| To sport awhile | A |
| As Love and Valour wander'd | B |
| With Wit the sprite | C |
| Whose quiver bright | C |
| A thousand arrows squander'd | B |
| Where'er they pass | D |
| A triple grass | D |
| Shoots up with dew drops streaming | E |
| As softly green | F |
| As emeralds seen | F |
| Through purest crystal gleaming | E |
| Oh the Shamrock the green immortal Shamrock | G |
| Chosen leaf | H |
| Of Bard and Chief | H |
| Old Erin's native Shamrock | G |

| Says Valour See | I |
| They spring for me | I |
| Those leafy gems of morning | E |
| Says Love No no | J |
| For me they grow | J |
| My fragrant path adorning | E |
| But Wit perceives | K |
| The triple leaves | K |
| And cries Oh do not sever | L |
| A type that blends | M |
| Three godlike friends | M |
| Love Valour Wit for ever | L |
| Oh the Shamrock the green immortal Shamrock | G |
| Chosen leaf etc | N |
| - | |
| So firmly fond | O |
| May last the bond | O |
| They wove that morn together | L |
| And ne'er may fall | P |
| One drop of gall | P |
| On Wit's celestial feather | L |
| May Love as twine | Q |
| His flowers divine | Q |
| Of thorny falsehood weed 'em | R |
| May Valour ne'er | S |
| His standard rear | T |
| Against the cause of Freedom | R |
| Oh the Shamrock the green immortal Shamrock | G |
| Chosen leaf etc | N |
